Perfect for you if...

You love psychological thrillers that trap characters in confined spaces with mounting dread and unreliable narrators.
You enjoy mysteries with layered secrets that slowly unravel across timelines.
You're drawn to atmospheric storytelling where a single location becomes a character itself.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer fast-paced plots over slow-burn atmospheric tension.
You want clear, straightforward narratives without ambiguity or character complexity.
You're looking for cosy mysteries or light reads rather than genuinely unsettling psychological fare.

About this book

True crime writer Wylie Lark retreats to an isolated farmhouse to work on her new book during a deadly snowstorm. Decades earlier, two people were murdered at this same house and a girl vanished without a trace. As the storm intensifies, Wylie becomes trapped inside, confronted by the house's dark history and her own secrets. She discovers a small child in the snow outside and brings them in for shelter. While searching for answers about the child's identity and origins, Wylie realizes the farmhouse is not as isolated as she believed, and someone nearby is determined to find the child at any cost.
